switch Statement doesn't switch

Question

I have a value that needs to be read. The value is a Hex that I convert to int. I have several possible values but the switch statement accept all cases.

 int messValue = Integer.parseInt(messType,16);
   switch(messValue)
   { 
   case 160 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a financial Message request");
   case 161 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a financial Message  response");
   case 162 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Reversal message request");
   case 163 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Reversal message Acquirer Repeat");
   case 164 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Reversal message response");
   case 165 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Network message request");
   case 166 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Network message response");
   case 167 : System.out.println(messType.toUpperCase() + " It's a Network message response issuer");
   default : break;
   }

here's the output when the input is "A0" :

A0 It's a financial Message request
A0 It's a financial Message  response
A0 It's a Reversal message request
A0 It's a Reversal message Acquirer Repeat
A0 It's a Reversal message response
A0 It's a Network message request
A0 It's a Network message response
A0 It's a Network message response issuer

switch cases "fall through" to the next case unless you add a break statement at the end of handling one case. — OH GOD SPIDERS, Apr 07 '17 at 13:54
Why bother parsing `messType`? Why not just use cases `"A0"`, `"A1"`, etc. — Andy Turner, Apr 07 '17 at 13:57

Add break; after every last inner case statement
